Earth Day 2011: a story about the Forest









Forests provide the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.  Forests also provide us with the wood and paper products we use every day.

Listen Franke James, author and artist in a creative personal story for FSC Canada on the video below


Who cares about the Forest? from Franke James on Vimeo.


A lovely story about the forests isn'it? Franke is the author of Bothered By My Green Conscience which merges science, art and storytelling to inspire people to take action and “do the hardest thing first” for the planet.

So, let's continue to inspire our students for Earth Day 2011 

Education:

  • Display the video in the classroom (primary and elementary school)
  • Let your students use iPad or smartphone to read 'Who cares about the Forest' as a visual essay here 
  • Students are invited to a storytelling about Earth and some visual essays to complete their story.
  • Students can visit Franke James' website (edutators tutoring) and leave a comment to the author.


I will be back with another act of green in the school

Let’s use video to reinvent education: Salman Khan





Salman Khan talks about how and why he created the remarkable Khan Academy, a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math and, now, other subjects. 

He shows the power of interactive exercises - and calls for teachers to consider flipping the traditional classroom script - give students video lectures to watch at home, and do you “homework” in the classroom with the teacher available to help. 

(Recorded at TED2011, March 2011, in Long Beach, California)


Social media allows anyone to become a video producer. The result is an explosion of high-quality teaching videos. 

Some years ago a teacher might show video in class every once in a while, as a motivation. But today there are teachers who really use videos in the classroom, between other digital resources, to enrich school time. There are a lot of videos from which to choose. The students love to evolve in their skills using different data.

A teacher’s value is not in the information stored in their head, I'm always  writing that. Teachers must have the ability to pull together the best learning resources to produce a desired outcome.
